Hi I have an old 1986 Monster Beetle and I'm trying to change the CV axle complete with dogbones but I don't know where to find them. Can you tell me what to look for in detail or where to buy them? Thanks a lot

After 8 years are you still selling them

Al your hands look gigantic. ✋😮

My uncle gave me this truck a few years ago JUST the truck lol no remote so I’m currently tryna see if I can rebuild it not to original tho 👀

Click bait. Nothing 1/6th scale in vid. Very disappointed

To this day….I still have the complete collection of 15pieces which came in a black box. 5 of them are opened….the other 10 are still sealed….so the “mystery piece” could still be in the un-opened boxes.🤩

From the video pic i thought it would be an embiggened car among regular tamiya kits :P

Neat little buggers! What do you think about the hornet Evo? I think they owe you some $ for the idea😮

Very nice work!

I have 5 of those little kits 3 un open and 2 finished.

Those are absolutely awesome, I wish they were still available! Better yet a Blackfoot! Better yet one with your well loved Blackfoot body and Brat w we wheels.

SRB’s are my dream RC’s. I love them because they’re legit to the actual buggy they were copied off of.

The frog even has the black end bell mabucci

I never thought that frogs and hornets would make such great cake toppers! 😂❤

These cars are really cool. I wish I had known about them years ago.

Got a dumb question. Do you still have that zebra 3 rc Torino? If so. Is she for sale? Sorry just looking for a Torino.. not really wanting a 3D printed shell, sorry.

Cute, amazing little things! I've seen this guy that makes tiny rc kits for hot wheels, I bet some crazy folks would be capable of turning one of these into RC as well. :p

Wow those are so amazing!!! When the video started I thought that those were all full scale RC cars until the giant hand showed up 😂😂. Man, I wish I could pick up a couple of grasshoppers . I was just getting back into the hobby when you say those were sold. I was completely oblivious to the fact that they existed until now that I see your video. What a great amount of details in such small cars.

In my quest to recreate all my most wanted Tamiyas in 1/64 I've found a 1/64 diecast Clodbuster by a company called Keido house. It's a low rider but with accurate livery. Have a Majorette 1/64 chevy monster truck gonna join the keido body to the Majorette chassis and have an accurate Clod for my shelf

These are awesome. And thinking with the red chassis maybe they were going to make other models like the Blackfoot and the Brat

So jealous of that little collection, the Avanti gets me, always loved that car!

I had the San-S Frog along with some of the Georgia coffee mini Tamiyas as scale accessories in a few crawlers. Several were lost in roll overs nearly bringing me to tears. Love these little models.

Nice to see a Ford Capri Mk1 as size ref :-) As you may know I'm a Capri nutter lol I have the black, blue and clear version of the Hornet. I got mine in 2008 I think. 1:87 (HO model railroad) cars fits perfect beside these as most "1:10" rigs today is closer to 1:8.5 scale (Axial, Traxxas etc) I also have the 1:10 coffee cars by UCC etc, which is 1:100 of real life, so 1:10th scale of 1:10th scale vehicles. Those has less details, but still fun to collect, not to mention perfect for a 1:10 garage! Holiday greetings from Norway. Richard

nice!

Those are really rad. Perfect replicas!

I only found out about these around 6 or so years ago, and they' were already at insane prices. 😢

Love them! The Grasshopper also appears to have a physically smaller motor (380) vs. the Hornet (540) too - like you say, an insane level of detail!

Nice I have a few of the RC tamiya buggies that were made by Tomy. I think you meant to put 1/64 scale in the title? Happy Holidays!

Oh... Thought these would be larger then the 1:10th rc cars they are based on being 1:6th scale like the Baja 5B from hpi for example.

What year when WPL Updated the C24??

1:43 why are you sorry? What did you do? I’m a bit confused brah 🤔

Great video. Ive just bought my grandson one for Christmas. He is 7 yrs old so this should give him the insite on how cars work.

It is possible to make brake and reverse lights that work with this kit using a programmable transmitter. Google "ruslan writes code Realistic Tamiya Lights".

Hi I've just upgraded my suspension on my Hornet and i need the Custom 20mm Offset Front Suspension for it. Could you send me the link please so i can buy them. Thanks in advance.

I think Tamiya hg p507 was A great comeback of the Original Bruiser …but with a Big Affordable price cut . Parts are interchangeable is a plus thanks. Tamiya

Hello the link for the light lenses no longer works, would you be able to link me with some?

I don't want the locking diffs so I just bought the cheapest P06, 2 speed kit and the wheels from this one. I'll 3D print hangers to improve suspension. Nice video!

Would brake lights stay on even when reversing?

Nice pitch! I will definitely get one at some point. Also, you earnt a sub. 🙂

Tried mounting the control box inside my 1/14 Scania R620 cab the wires are not long enough to reach the tailend light clusters. and too long for the front end but will try lengthening the cables for the rear light clusters, just need to find the correct gauge of cable. otherwise all ok equipment

I hate you. Not really, but that is SOOO much cooler than anything I can come up with...I won 2wd stock class in my area against EVERYTHING in 87-88 with a dremel tool modified Grasshoper. I really need to build another one.

14:45 This has to be my favorite out of all my minis. Did treal wheels and swamper tires. Rubber bands around the shocks to keep it low.

Where can I buy these?

So my Dad bought a Tamiya Boomerang in '86, and 8yr old me helped him build it. I loved that Boomerang and bugged him to drive it nonstop. A few months later he came hime with a pair of these exact buggies. I took the Red #49(mhz) and the white #27(mhz) which my brother wanted. We got the higher voltage rechargable batts(I used yellow Sanyo batts with red writing, my brother used a generic brand and I always killed him in races lol) and these actually had a fairly respectable speed for toy grade in the 80's! We ran those cars until they died yrs later (thinking back, Im blown away by how much abuse these took and kept going 😆) I was able to purchase a MINT Boomerang a cpl yrs ago, but now want to add these to the collection for nostalgia reasons. Thank you for this vid! Also, the reason you could only steer while moving was to avoid servo burn out. As a kid, your hands would be too small to one hand both joysticks like you did in the vid. The car had to be moving fwd/rev to activate the steering function, so both hands had to be on the controller, and it wouldnt turn unless moving, meaning the chances of a kid holding/messing with, the car AND driving/turning were Very slim. It was a way of avoiding Customer service calls & warranty claims. Until servo's and tech got better/more sophisticated.

hi the bearing link is down

The scoop is modeled off of an actual Nissan desert race truck. The real race truck had rear mounted radiator and the scoop directed air to it.

there are weights in the back motor with the 2 extra batteries. I had this when I was a child. I smashed out the weights and added 2 more batteries. with 4 in the car, and 4 on the back this car was fast 😜

12:05 I think I'd want less droop on the left side there, that dog bone looks like it's about to slip out. I definitely hear your complaints about the cheap plastic, bushings, and molex plug. It's not 1992 anymore.

Wow 😮. My dad brought me this a long time ago. I think I was 8 or 9 years old. I remember putting it together myself. I couldn't get it to run, then I figured out I needed to just put the small gear on the car and it worked. Still can't remember what happened to it. Sad 😢

Awesome!!!
